Are you on the path to success with your book? I don’t mean in terms of sales. No one can predict that. The only thing I can guarantee you is that if you don’t finish and publish your book, the only people who will read your manuscript are the ones who can’t say no.… Continue Reading
If you’re a writer, you probably already know how hard it is to actually find time to write.

So the key, whether you write professionally or on the side, is ensuring… Continue Reading
It’s funny. If you’re like me, often you want to write, almost more than anything, but somehow you can’t seem to make the time. So you go back to review your goals. Then you try time-blocking.
